Back from vacation bis

am on my vacation, once will not hurt I will not uniforms but history. a friend showed me around the familistère Guise. The

familistère is a co-management experience a scene of unique habitat and a unique business or substantially the nineteenth century. Its author: John Baptite Godin. Inspired experiences Fourier, the contractor, owner smelters will create the same name under the second empire, a place housing for its employees. Designed and made with all the latest equipment from the time , at hygiene ( WC, showers, swimming pools, laundry rooms) at education (school library and life ....) Current (bursar, collecting ....) this experience is impressive.

Now a museum, on the familystery his system collective management of the business capital and housing, as well as productions Godin, stoves, pans, plates enamelled ... Wonderful collection!

The building is impressive especially since Godin opted for community housing in one block (the difference other experiments pre-socialist who choose individual housing). The interior is a huge tiled courtyard sheltered by a canopy . I found myself in the same architecture as the prison of Fresnes , built at the same time!
Experience to perdurée well after death Godin .

Holidays in Alsace!

I just got back from holiday and for once I am happy by buying products typical of this area!
These are indeed soldiers of paper manufacturing of traditional Alsace . They have the great merit be Second Empire period, which is rare for the soldiers who shot them date back to the most of 1890-1900!

They represent an officer of the Grenadier Guards in uniform, 1854, ditto a dragon, a Zouave and a hunter dressed in 1860. All are brand Silbermann I think there is also an infantryman I think is brand Wentzel saw her break more "Mobile".

real "boots" 1873

Here today, a pair of shoes authentic French military model 1873. These are dated 1897, manufactured and therefore Bourges APPROVED 8 ° corps. First, needless dwell on the rarity of such shoes! It is impotant to redo the chronology of developments since 1823.

the first model regulated after the empire (the first!) Is 1823. the cup is the same as above except that there is no right or left foot.

In 1845 the new model regulates the existence of a right and left, so they are identical to this one.

The following model , 1867 changes the number of eyelets from three to two (what a change!) And nails from 50 to 30!


Finally 1873 model gives exactly the model 1845. That's why I watch, because they will permettrent we copy them for our project C rhymed!


FYI, it's a size 43

Remember, these "boots" are still as regulatory shoe for the rest cheep cheep of 1914, 1914 models rest arriving in 1915 see 16 in the bodies of troops! The s photos ride a lot of these shoes worn without gaiters white standing at the back !
